To make the soup: Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and curly endive and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the curly endive is tender, about 8 minutes. Whisk the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the soup in a circular motion. Gradually drizzle the egg mixture into the moving broth, stirring gently with a fork to form thin stands of egg, about 1 minute. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Finish soup with parmesan cheese if desired.

I had some homemade a couple days ago. It was pretty dang good. Something about the mini meatballs though,not bad just different.

The 21st century. The age of Smart phones and Stupid people.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches!

Next time go to BJ'S or Costco and buy a couple of bags of either frozen turkey meat balls or beef and just slice them in half and reform into mini balls .Also pickup a jar of chicken soup base and stir into the broth about two table spoons .It will make it much richer !

Do not try this recipe with store bought meatballs!! :eek:

More then half the flavor is making your own meatballs, try it my way once and see the difference!

The only thing I would change is to use real chicken broth instead of store-bought. When I prepare this I make chicken soup. I use the broth and I also add a little bit of shredded chicken into the soup.
I like to keep the meatballs the main part of the dish so the rest of the chicken I dice up for a chicken salad.
Also, I use escarole, spinach or swiss chard instead of endive.
Try this...it tastes SO much better than store bought chicken stock/broth. ;)

If you enjoy pictures of hot steaming chicken soup go and find a few and post them.Step by step pictures are good I will admit to guide one in the making of complicated dishes that require some sort of special folding technique when making a dish encrusted in dough such as Beef Wellington or some twisted French pastry but for a bowl of soup,naw.

If you are addicted to images while cooking go and buy a color copy of Larousse Gastronomique and you will be satiated !
